Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre: Current Status May 2019

This is your go to page for the latest on the spectacular phenomenon that is taking place in central Australia with the flooding rains working their way to the inland sea that is Lake Eyre. We will update this page as we receive intelligence from our partners on the ground.

Dry or wet, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is a sight to behold and Kirkhope Aviation with over 40 years’ experience are the experts in outback touring, so travelling with us you will get the most out of your tour and best value for money.

Every seat is a window seat and not only do you see the great lake by air. We take you by land to the shores of the lake so you can touch and feel it. It’s a fully immersive, once (or twice) in a lifetime experience for all Australians.

The water travelling down to Lake Eyre has now reached Goyder Lagoon and passed Clifton Hills and is at Kalamurina.

It's flowing very quickly and is expected to reach Lake Eyre in 2 weeks time. Now is the time to book your tour to secure your seat.

Update on Lake Eyre Water Levels (19 Feb 2019)

A vast amount of water is heading down the Diamantina River at a rapid rate and is likely to reach Birdsville in the next few days. Birdsville is likely to be land locked and not accessible by vehicle for some time (however we can still fly in).

At this stage, it is expected the water will reach Lake Eyre in early April. Birdsville is looking forward to the wildflowers following the dry flood (A dry flood is as a result of river swelling as opposed to direct rain).

Enjoy the below live video, filmed live on 15th and 18th of February, of water flowing into the Channel Country near Birdsville

We had full intentions of adding some commentary but the sound of Mother Nature in the Channel Country took our breath away! Enjoy the moment.

Thanks you so much for a wonderful few days away. So many positives; sights, activities, people, food and planning were all fantastic. Well be back! Peter was much refreshed after his return. He hasn't stopped telling folks about the trip.
